Tuvix - Self-Hosted RSS Aggregator

Reply in thread

Same concept, different implementation. FreshRSS is a PHP app, in my opinion.. a little ugly, still super functional of course. I wanted to try to create something with a more modern UX, and try to appeal to not just the tech folks. FreshRSS still supports things I don't yet, like WebSub, but give me some time to catch up. I have the massive benefit of just starting much later when many awesome libraries and AI exist.

I actually started this API in Go, and it was nearly complete before I started over entirely in Node. And I did that so that it could run in serverless environments. You can of course still run this in Docker Compose, but it's actually focused on Cloudflare deployments, where you can run this entirely for free.

Ya. I'm working on that too. And trying to keep in the spirit of not being biased or heavy on algorithms.

My first step - A chrome/firefox extension. This is currently in review on the web store. This exposes RSS feeds on sites you visit to make it easier to subscribe to the places you already visit. This is especially great when you find a great blog on Reddit or Hacker News. https://github.com/TechSquidTV/Tuvix-Tricorder-Extension

Cliparr v1 Release - Personal Media Clipper

Reply in thread

Right now it just has a resolution toggle but I have been thinking of adding a quality target like we do with screenshots. A file size target is a bit more complicated but technically possible. I think a lot of apps would likely slap a "social media target". I think we could do something similar.

AGPL v3. Take that as you may. I'm *open *to changing it. I just wanted to give the project a chance to thrive without someone just hosting it as a paid app and calling it a day. That makes it so that if anyone does want to create a commercial product from this, they would need to offer up the source. My monetization plans only extend to possibly offering an additional plan on the hosted version to help cover hosting costs (which right now are $10 a month and I am covering that, it may become $30 a month if this gets popular).

Tuvix Tricorder - An RSS Button For The Web

Reply in thread

Tuvix! Tuvix is your RSS aggregator app. Follow all the feeds you want there. But RSS has a discovery issue where it is difficult to find new things to subscribe to. That's where Tricorder comes in. Use Tuvix to follow the content you want, use Tricorder to make sure you subscribe to content when you discover it.

While super fair and accurate, I take this as an opportunity to follow much smaller blogs. When I find a good post on Hacker News or stumble upon someone through my research, I now actively make a point to subscribe to their RSS.

TBH my original motive was to find good sources of content to submit to Hacker News... but all the same.
